ares's Issues

Subreddit blacklist

A feature that lets you blacklist a subreddit or thread from being deleted would be great

The Firefox addon seems unavailable

The link, in the README, to the Firefox extension generates a not-found error.

Thank you, developer, for your previous work.

I made a better program to delete all your comments until this tool gets fixed

Since the owner of this tool is not active, and that the tool doesn't work properly(it doesn't delete all comments and stops before)

I made a Python program to do it : https://github.com/teisseire117/reddit-comment-remover

If you have issues using it tell me. It's only for comments

Overwriting not always registering in record of deleted comments

After downloading my reddit data, I've notice that sometimes my data before overwriting is still cached.

I'm going out on a limb so assume that this is due to either:

1. Reddit servers being busy and the edit not getting fully processed before the delete for some reason
2. The edit failing, erroring, or skipping before deleting on client side

My first assumpton was that they were the posts Automod was deleting when you're trying to edit it, but I've checked all of those in my message box from automod has deleted every instance of an edit, leaving the edit intact.

Script gets caught in a loop when comments removed by reddit

If the comment is deleted by reddit (content says [Removed by Reddit], it goes into a loop stating "All Comments Deleted!" and then back to trying to delete the removed comment and others.

I'd imagine you can't edit the content of a "[Removed by Reddit]" comment, so it fails to detect a successful update. I manually deleted the comment and then the script proceeded normally.

Installation instructions for Linux?

Hello! I don't think your install instructions cover Linux. I tried sudo apt install npm but the result - and this may not be your fault - was:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 npm : Depends: node-gyp (>= 0.10.9) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Not deleting

Same problem others report. Comments don't all delete. It also seems to be moving painfully slow. If the display is any indication, its deleting and replacing one comment every 3-4 seconds. At that rate it would take eons to delete my 6 years of history. In any case I saw you ask about console errors. I have no idea what im doing in console but I see this popping up repeatedly:

Error: Request failed with status code 403
at e.exports (createError.js:16)
at e.exports (settle.js:17)
at XMLHttpRequest.d.onreadystatechange (xhr.js:59)

I don't have any extensions that should be conflicting. It eventually says it finishes and ive run the thing at least 10 times. It runs for 15-20 minutes again, says its finished, and its not.

It doesn't delete all comments

Hi,

I used this tool, then it says "All comment deleted" :

but I still have comments left. When I launch the tool again, it deletes more comments, but again it stops saying All comments deleted but there are still left.
If I have to restart the tool a hundred time there's no point

Firefox Addon is missing / links to Firefox addon are broken

What's on the tin - the links to to the Firefox addong in the README are broken, as well as links on the subreddit.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nukereddithistory/ is missing.

The webpack is using old SSL protocol or whatever it is, can be temporarily fixed with

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

and run npm run build again.

Feature request: delete comment history by CSV

I've been using your software for a while to remove my reddit history, however I've recently noticed that a large amount of comments hat are more than 4 years old are neither showing up on my profile or being removed. These comments however show up in the data dump "comment_headers.csv" that you can request from Reddit, with their URL and ID in the CSV. They also show up on google when queried. I'm interested in working with you to add a feature that allows you to delete comments by CSV, however I'm not all that familiar with Typescript or vue. I'm decently experienced with React, JavaScript, and php, but I'd enjoy helping maintain this repo.

Are you interested in having potential collaborators make PRs?

Extension deletes first 1000 comments sorted by `New`, leaving comments under `Hot`, `Top`, and `Controversial` sortings

The extension will delete the first 1000 comments when sorted by New
This appears to be everything, but if you sort again by Hot, Top or Controversial you will see much older comments are still there.

Sorting by New does not reload these comments.

Only deletes a few comments

The Extension deletes a few comments and declares "All comments deleted!". But there are still thousands of comments left.
A simple check at the end if actually all comments are deleted and running the script again if they aren't, could probably solve this problem.
